Interesting mention of Icosapent Ethyl. I am sure this is based on the Evaporate trial by Dr. Budoff. What caught my eye was the comment that it was only shown to reduce plaque in those with trigs above 150. So I did look up the Evaporate study and sure enough the median trig level was over 250. Of course this doesn't mean it couldn't help someone with lower trigs but just not proven in a trial:

Another drug, icosapent ethyl (Vascepa) has also been shown to reduce plaque, but only in people who have elevated triglycerides (higher than 150 milligrams per deciliter). Since your triglycerides are normal, it's not clear that this would help./quote]
